Behind The Art
Shaped by moments of awe and stillness — when light breaks open the sky, colour spills across the land, and the familiar becomes something more.
For me, creation doesn’t sit quietly in the background. It invites us. It speaks.
Some collectors see a place they know: a coastline, a sky, a memory brought back to life. Others feel something deeper — a glimpse of hope and courage, often an inner shift that’s hard to put into words.
I paint to hold space for beauty, the stories we carry, and the light that breaks in at just the right moment — for those navigating change, chasing dreams, or simply drawn to hope.
Hi I’m Rachel, I paint unwritten melodies — an invitation to step into more beauty & light; a song to fill the ‘to-be-written’ parts of your story.
“Painter — yes that’s really my last name!”
While it might seem I was destined to be an artist, my path wasn’t straightforward.
After studying graphic design at Falmouth University, I spent years pouring my creativity into community projects and youth work —sparking creativity in others, while unintentionally setting aside my own creative voice.
That chapter shaped me a lot, but in 2018, a soul-piercing question cracked something open. Curious how that question brought the artist in me back to life? Read the full story here >
Now based between the wild coastlines of Cornwall and the moors of Exmoor, I’m endlessly inspired by shifting skies, tidal rhythms, and how our stories are mirrored in light and landscape.
With a rich, luminous colour palette and bursts of expressive light, my process is both intuitive and intentional. I layer contrasting washes of colour, flickers of texture, and spirited brushwork to stretch what the eye sees into what the heart feels.
Today, my paintings live in private homes, galleries, and corporate spaces across the UK and internationally. I also regularly take commissions to tell a client’s story or capture a place that matters deeply to them.
